Gerson 3230 N95 Respirator (Duckbill)
Gerson began as a small manufacturing outfit more than 60 years ago in Boston, MA. Today, Gerson distinguishes itself as a vertically integrated, prime manufacturer of a full range of air-purifying respirators, from filtering facepieces to half-mask to full face respirators, all products of outstanding design and value. Filtering facepiece respirators for example, such as various styles of N95 respirators, have been produced in Middleboro, MA since 1985 on unique, high-speed equipment of our own design and construction, incorporating our own melt-blown filter material to provide high-performing filtration with exceedingly comfortable breathing characteristics.
If you watch our video review these masks do have a rubber smell at first due to the headbands. The smell dissipates fairly quickly, but want you to be aware.

Customer Reviews
These are great and fit me well! Love to wear them in allergy season as well as at the office. I’m not interested in getting sick from my job or having a miserable weekend because pollen is high now!
We are so happy that you continue to love your N95 masks and appreciate your support, Chelsea!
The Gerson is the only N95 I’ve found that could seal adequately around my deep set eyes and nose. The angles on my face prevented a good seal on all other masks I tried! This seals perfectly while allowing me to breathe and talk. Since I have asthma and bronchiectasis I have to mask up when indoors with people. I wear them to work everyday. Thank you Armbrust and Gerson for just the right mask for my curvy face!
Thank you so much for your review Arielle! We are so happy that you continue to love the great seal provided by your N95 mask and we appreciate your support!
I love the Gerson 3230’s! These masks conform to most any face shape, let’s you talk without sticking to your lips and seals out all them nasty viruses, germs and bacterias!!! I love these!
Hi Arielle! We are so happy that you are loving your Gerson N95 masks! Thanks so much for your support!
Generally pretty easy to get them to fit, snugly and securely, comfortable enough for me to wear all day. Haven’t gotten sick yet, so I guess they work! However, occasionally a strap will break after a few minutes of wear, maybe once every 20 masks or so.
Seals well, flexible, easy to breathe in, definitely one of my favorite masks. The plastic packaging it comes in isn't fully sealed, which feels like a waste of plastic packaging however.

This mask is the most comfortable I have worn. Masks that have straps behind the ears always give me headaches. This style of mask also allows for amazing breathability. They are a bit tricky to get on, but I adapted. I wish they would come in different colors, But please, not orange or yellow. That would add to the duck bill look.😝
I highly recommend this mask.
Thank you for your review!
Duckbill puns always make us chuckle, too!
The duckbill does not fit as close to the nose and is more comfortable but the straps are a little short for anyone with a large head. It fits securely and seems to require less adjusting as it does not slide down the nose as much.
Thank you for your in-depth review!
We really value your feedback, and will continue to make quality masks available for all.
This mask is a Godsend! Because the nose wire is not bent in the middle, and it is easily molded, I finally found an N95 that seals on my face! I have deep set eyes and and a small long face. Nothing else seals completely on my face! This is perfect! I also love that it leaves plenty of room to breathe! It doesn’t touch my lips. As a person with asthma and bronchiectasis who lives in these, this is the answer to prayer!
Thank you, Lloyd, for the video, which sold me on the Gerson a year ago. Omicron hit and a family member decided "we're all gonna get it," so I had to up my mask game. I use two other N95/N99, but this is my favorite. I am comfortable for hours in the Gerson. Can chase a toddler, hike up a steep hill. Super super breathable. Nose area 10/10 comfy and secure. Sometimes the elastic is not reliable but it's a minor issue. THANKS Lloyd and Gerson.
I’ve spent the pandemic periodically looking for a respirator mask that fits my face well, gets a good seal, and is actually comfortable. So many masks were too big, the wrong shape, leaked air at the edges, caused annoying glasses fogging, or dug into my face despite all the little fixes I tried. It was miserable wearing any of them for more than a couple minutes. So I didn’t go anywhere fun for 2+ years! But THIS mask? I plan to wear one on a cross-country flight next month. Enough said!
